Abstract

A battery is disclosed, including a battery body. The battery body includes a battery cell and a housing. The housing defines a recess that penetrates through the housing from one end to another end along a first direction. The battery is disposed at a bottom of a vehicle. A bottom longitudinal beam of the vehicle runs through and fits in the recess along the first direction. The housing is provided with a plurality of first mounting structures. The first mounting structures are configured to detachably mount the battery body into the vehicle. At least two of the plurality of first mounting structures are spaced apart along a second direction and located on two sides outside the recess. The first direction intersects the second direction. This application further discloses a bracket matching the battery, and a vehicle containing the battery or the bracket.

         6 . The battery according to  claim 4 , wherein the recess opens along a third direction, the bottom longitudinal beam is detachably mounted in the recess along the third direction, the mounting slots each open toward a same side as the recess along the third direction, and both the first direction and the second direction intersect the third direction. 
     
     
         7 . The battery according to  claim 6 , wherein the first mounting structures each are disposed on a slot wall, perpendicular to the second direction, of the mounting slot, or, the first mounting structures each are disposed on a slot wall, perpendicular to the third direction, of the mounting slot. 
     
     
         8 . The battery according to  claim 4 , wherein the mounting slots penetrate along the first direction. 
     
     
         9 . The battery according to  claim 1 , wherein at least two of the first mounting structures are located at a same end of the housing along the second direction, and the at least two first mounting structures located at the same end are spaced apart along the first direction. 
     
     
         10 . The battery according to  claim 1 , wherein the housing is provided with second mounting structures, and the second mounting structures are located inside the recess. 
     
     
         11 . The battery according to  claim 10 , wherein at least one of the second mounting structures is disposed on a sidewall, perpendicular to the second direction, of the recess; and/or, at least one of the second mounting structures is disposed on a sidewall, perpendicular to a third direction, of the recess; and both the first direction and the second direction intersect the third direction. 
     
     
         12 . The battery according to  claim 11 , wherein the second mounting structures are disposed separately on two sidewalls of the recess that are opposite to each other along the second direction. 
     
     
         13 . The battery according to  claim 11 , wherein, there are a plurality of second mounting structures disposed on the sidewall, perpendicular to the third direction, of the recess; and at least two of the second mounting structures are arranged along the second direction. 
     
     
         14 . A bracket, wherein the bracket is configured to mount the battery according to  claim 1  onto a vehicle, and the bracket comprises:
